scene in the early morning, when the
carriers are being supplied and the vehi-
cles loaded, is a particularly busy
and inspiring one. In order
order that the GLOBE patrons
may be satisfactorily served. Mr.. Ma
graw has the entire city divided into
carrier districts. These are marked out
on map, and the location of every
GLOBE subscriber is known to him.
Each carrier is assigned to certain dis
trict and he is required to exercise the
utmost diligence in ''getting around on
his beat" Boys are generally entrusted
with this wOrk-frOm IL to II years old
and they are found to be better than
men, having more energy and taking
greater interest in their duties. The
mounted carriers and the carriers who
have the longer distances to travel are
always supplied with papers first, so
that they may be able to reach their gen.
orally early rising customers before they
leave home to come down to their places
OF business. The carriers who deliver
IN the business district are supplied
later, as it is not absolutely necessary to
get the papers around before the stores
and shops are opened. The suburban
carriers make their deliveries OH horse
back or in light wagons passing swiftly
from mouse 10 house and covering large
amount of territory. A carriers supply
ranges from
S. To $50 COPIES,
the ones in the business district getting
the largest'quantities. The illustration
herewith will give the reader an idea of
the scene when the carriers and news
boys are being supplied. The first in
stallment of papers to the carriers is
given out about 1880 o'clock, and the last
are served about $40 O'Clock. Before
the carriers are all supplied the news
boys begin to show up, the most active
and buSiness-like of the little street
Arabs getting their "stock" early so as
to get ahead Of the other fellows and
catch the pedestrian WHO'S abroad in all
cities in the dawn Of the morning. The
newsboyS are very important factor
in the circulation of the GLOBE, and
their work is duly appreciated and re-
cognized. With them the GLOBE is es-
pecially popular, and the way they
scramble for their papers is sufficient
evidence Of the value they place upon
them for street sales. The sales of the
GLOBE on the streets of st. Paul are
more than double those of the other pa
pers combined. The student of human
nature could proftably employ a half
hour of his time by coming around some
morning and watching this little army,
embracing all sorts of people and all

these webs, If stretched out in q straight
line, would reach q distance of, about
22,OC0 inches, or about 1880 feet. The
larger size web turns out about 5000
sheets, and each press will turn off three
OF these webs per hour. In other words,
both presses, going at once, will print
about $4,000 eight-page copies of the
GLOBE per hour. A study of the cuts
accompanying this article will enable
the reader to more intelligibly compre-
bend the description. A Scott-POtter
press consists Of series of long cylin-
ders, on two Of which are fixed the ster-
eotype plates heretofore described.
These are some distance apart, and each
several rollers which pass over
cylinder and distribute the ink.
After the paper leaves the web it
passes between two cylinders, which
print pages 2, 4, 5 and Z; then it passes
between two other cylinders, which
print pages l, 5, and s, which COM
pletes the printing Of the paper. Then
the paper is carried over two bars,
placed at an angle-called angle bars
which changes the course of the paper
and sends it off at an angle, carrying it
into the folding cylinders, where it is
cut, folded and delivered into box in
packages. of rs or so, as wanted. The
process is an exceedingly rapid one,
but everything works smoothly and per-
fectly, and there is a constant and
steady stream of printed papers pour
ing out until the roll is exhausted. The
operation of wetting down the paper
is one of novel interest. 1t is done SIM
ply by rolling the paper off one "spool"
onto another. The spools are operated
by steam, and revolve rapidly. When
wet the rolls are placed in the rear of
the press, ready to be lifted UP ipto 20

INTERIOR VIEW or THE PRESS ROOM.

about the room seems filled with new
energy. The foreman moves about with
quick step, keeping close watch of the
pOnderOuS machine, looking after the
linking apparatus and touching the
joints occasionally with fresh supply
OF Oil; the man at the web stands guard
to see that it revolves and pays off prop
erly, and the papers are sent by boys to
the mailing room or to the city circula-
tor for the carriers and news boys as
fast as they accumulate. An automatic
counter on each press enables the fore
man to tell how the rolls run and when
the necessary number of copies have
been printed. The scene during the
printing of the papers is lively and i'll
spring. There is not a minute of time
to be wasted. Everything has been cal
culated to fine point. The capacity of
the press is known, and so many papers
can be printed in certain time. Ger
tain mails have to be caught and GER
tain number of papers have to be sent
to outlying. districts by carriers. The
newsboys have to be supplied, the idea
being to get the paper on the streets as
soon as possible. All these things are
calculated upon, and the press room
must be managed with the utmost re-
gard for the value of time reduced to
seconds. The foreman of the GLOBE
press room is Thomas You'd. His force
consists of five men and boys. The
length of time each press runs daily
might be an item of interest, but that
would be equivalent to telling what The
circulation of the GLOBE is. This is
business secret best to be kept at pres
ent to avoid inflaming the jealousy of
enviouS contemporaries.

it they are in the shape of large, open

and neatly folded, in much better shape
than during the old days when papers
were folded by hand. The folding ma
chine is 50 attached to the press that the
same machinery runs both. 1t works
with lightning-like rapidity, and is SO
miraculous in intricate nicely and auto
matic-like skill of workmanship that an
intelligent description of it is almost i'm
possible. A person must see it in oper-
alton to understand and appreciate it
to comprehend the principle on which
the innumerable shafts, cog wheels, pin
ions, rollers, cams and eccentrics are
operated. The paper starts through
the press from the ''endless' roll. and
soon reaches the point where it has to
be cut the proper length after it is

are OF solid rock, q sort OF cellar being
dug in the rock under the presses to sd-

almost every street, and in almost
every block there are subscribers to be
supplied, and when it is understood
that each one must have his paper be-
fore early breakfast time, the difficulty
is at once apparent. There are fifty-five
carriers under Mr.. Magraw's direction,
some mounted, for the outlying dis
tricts, but most of them on foot. Dis
tribution is facilitated by the use of
wagons, which carry out large numbers
of papers to supply the newsdealers in
various parts of the cities-whose or
